NPR: RNC Outfit Watch

RNC Outfit Watch

The Texans have toned it down tonight -- they're still wearing their signature straw cowboy hats, but today they're paired with staid black blazers. (Last night we didn't post on them, so for those readers who have been on the edges of your seats, the Tuesday dress code was a red polo shirt.)

But don't worry -- the Michigan delegation came through on the sartorial front with some rockin' customized hockey jerseys in GOP/Red Wings red and white. Is it an homage to self-described "hockey mom" Sarah Palin? They've got a map of their home state (not just the mitten -- word up, Yoopers!) on the front and their names and the number 08 on the back.

And happening all week but not yet blogged in this space: the Pennsylvania group waves Terrible Towels printed with "We're Not Bitter" when they cheer. Apparently the Eagles fans among them have risen above their petty NFL divisions to unite behind Steelers-style paraphernalia in support of John McCain. Country first!

I'm watching the Republican convention and can't believe that each of the speakers thus far is acknowledging the the sorry state of America's values, economy, employment, even the ineffectiveness of the Congress. They then, from the bottom of their hearts, want us to believe with them that the only way out is to elect the same Republican senator who has voted with the same president who has led us to this abyss over 90% of the time! Am I the only one who has noticed how absurd this is????

I find this insulting......
